Everyone is impressed by how quickly one can get from Rawang to Sg Choh in under 9 minutes. That place has been chronically congested since the early 90s.
But check out the technology that built this pretty impressive bypass - it's called the Underslung Method: Moveable Scaffolding System. What's great about it is that very little environmental damage was done to the trees and rocks.
In the past, Malaysia has been guilty of attempting to divert the forces of nature to build their majestic buildings. That has wreaked havoc by flooding and landslides.
I was also amazed to see that there is still a decent amount of rainforest preserved.
Frankly, the completion of this project is aimed at attracting voters in the impending elections.
Without reserve, I would say that this bypass is magnificent. It doesn't detract, however, from the GST levied on citizens and the sheer greed on the part of politicians, especially MO1.
The civil servants who have worked on these projects that make Malaysia seem like a great place deserve the honour.
The politicians who take the credit for it do not.
